Berklee News

Berklee College of Music, the only college to host an official party at the SXSW Music and Media Conference—one of the music industry’s biggest events—presents its annual SXSW Party on Friday, March 15, from 12:00 p.m. to  6:00 p.m. at Brush Square Park (East Tent), in Austin, Texas.

Berklee alumni and faculty were honored with nine Grammy Awards on music’s biggest night for their outstanding contributions to some of last year’s top releases.

The Fretless is a string quartet that plays fiddle tunes in a way that sounds anything but traditional. The 2012 Canadian Music Awards recognized its virtuosity and artistic cohesion with wins for both Ensemble of the Year and Instrumental Group of the Year. The band features two 2009 alumni.

Berklee's international Valencia campus was a main feature in El País Semanal (EPS) last Sunday. EPS is the weekly supplement of El País, the highest-circulation daily newspaper in Spain and the most read internationally by Spanish speakers on a global level.
